W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Company, Holdings, Xxxxx Rite, ZMP, Marathon, Xxxxxxxx and Champion have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “INDENTURE”), dated as of July 22, 2003 providing for the issuance by the Company of an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million of 8-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “NOTES”) and the guarantees thereof by Holdings, Xxxxx Rite, ZMP, Marathon, Xxxxxxxx and Champion;

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances newly created or acquired Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing for a senior subordinated guarantee of payment of the Notes by such New Domestic Subsidiary (the “SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01(g) of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary covenants and agrees for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1.  CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2.  GUARANTEE, ETC.  The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees that on the effective date of this Supplemental Indenture it shall be a Guarantor under the Indenture and be bound by the terms thereof applicable to Guarantors and shall be entitled to all of the rights and subject to all the obligations of a Guarantor thereunder.

3.  EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

4.  NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary (or any successor entity), as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary or any other Guarantor under the Notes, any Guarantee, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
